Empire Outlets New York City, also known as Harbor Commons,[1] is a proposed 350,000-square-foot retail complex that will feature 100 designer outlets and a 120,000-square-foot hotel.
It is to be constructed near Saint George Terminal and Richmond County Bank Ballpark, in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City,[2][3] alongside the proposed New York Wheel, a 625-foot (190.5 m) tall giant Ferris wheel scheduled to open in 2017.[4]
The two projects are going through the approval process simultaneously and will share consultants on issues such as traffic and the waterfront, however they are separate projects with separate funding.[5][6]
